matte Gate That Works Weli-How TO
Treat Shying Horses.
The subject of self working gates is an
important one, especially where economy
Is % necessity; for patented articles are, as
rule, expensive luxuries, and it is not
often that really good thing is not
patented. Space is therefore gladly given
10 n description and sketch of an unpat-
ented automatic gate, furnished by Mr..
William Newton, of Otsego county, N.
Y, in response TO a request in Farm
and Fireside. The description is really
rendered unnecessary by the sketch, which
makes the arrangement plain to all who
mny study it.

No mother to teach me to scratch or TO cluck,

She expressed a greet desire to ride in

we tried in vain to get tho Indians to un-
dcrstana that they must not get too close
with the COACH to fire. They got an idea
that somebody important was inside. and
that therefore they must fire Il little worse
than ordinarily. We went through n good

other might get hurt through the nashing
Of powder or w;ds or something. Tho

saw nearly 400 Of them ranged around the
walls of library in big house in Sew

Almost every parish has its p!ous wood

'tSincc I put that up" said down
town business man, pointing to u sign in
his office. 'the beggars have fallen off so
per cent. l don't have ten applicants
where used to have 1OO."
The placartl in question had no unkind
reference to a bulldog, or even to the
police, but announced that all applicants
for aid would be referred to the down
town relief bureau, where, if worthy,
they W, aid be assisted The bureau is a
terror to the s'rounders," who never
work as long as they can find credulous
and charitable person TO drink in any in
genious tale of woe. The machinery Of
the society for the detection of imposture
proves too much for them, and where
they sec its placards they now retire with
disgust. There are from 800 TO 1000 Of
these notices distributed in DOWN town
Offices, and the statement Of this business
man is confirmed by the experience Of
other subscribers to the bureau. Albert
G. Hebbcrtl, superintendent Of the bureau,
also says that Of those who apply to sub.
scribers and receive tickets about half
fail to present them at the bureau.
The first thing which Superintendent
Hebbcrd does after taking an applicants
story, address and references, is to give q
ticket for a nights lodging and three
meals, either at the mems lodging house
or the Women's home, SO that the appli-
cant is cared for for one day while the in
vestigation is going on. The consequences
Of detection To IN impostor are serious,
and likely to include a term on the island
for vagrancy. A report of all fraudulent
Eases is made to the Charity Organization
society, which acts as g clearing house for
NIL the charity organizations in New York.
It reports the frauds detected by one as
ISOLATION to all the others, and supports a
police agent who devotes his time to ar-
resting and bringing such offenders to
punishment. The society publishes a
monthly bulletin Of frauds. and the last
number contained the names Of twenty
four professional beggars and Of seventy
four fraudulent charitable institutions in
the city whose agents solicit funds. As
there are 1000 copies of these bulletins
circulated among the ministers, churches
and charitable workers Of the city, it be-
comes comparatively easy to ascertain the
merit of any applicant for relief.-New
York Times.

A foreign diplomatist accredited -
Rome gives the following account q The
present Pope's iacome and what be does
with 1t. The Pontifical revenue b De.
rived from three separate sources. The
first Is the interest Of an enoruoas sum
left BY Pope Plus TX to the Pspel
treasury, which interest produces eone
$500, 900. The capital ofthis is invested
10 English Government funds. Con-
trary to What some persons might
imagine, Leo Kill 10 great speculasos
and subscribes to all the Italian lcaas.
When the latter rise he sells out and ius
vests In English consols. To the RIVE
nue. LEFT by Plus TX must be added .
sum almost equal in amount furnished
by the Peters Pence Fund, which,
however, has fallen on Of late years.
This constitutes The ordinary budget OF
the Holy See Ne distinguished from the
extraordinary budget. The latter u de-
rived from third source, and b cup.
piled by the receipts Of the Apostolic
Chancellery. The COLLATION. Of titles Of
nobility, decorations, blessings In ar
ticulo mortis. altar privileges, private
chspels, ecclesiastical tltles--such are
few Of the items which 70 TO make up
the extraordinary budget. IL amounts
to an average Of $500. 900 per annum,
aud serves to make up the private purse
Of the Sovereign Ponia, and on which
he relies to exercise hls generosity. IL
will be observed that the private budget
OF the Pope is thus derived, In great
measure, from the satisfaction Of human
vanity. The ordinary budget Of the
Holy See, which. as stated above,
amounts to 81 100000 per annu'n, u
distributed by the major domo cf the
Vatican among the Cardinals residing
In Rome--about IS. 900 year eacls--thc
prelates Of the Papal court, the secre.
tarIes, the nunclos, the Poutihcal body
guards, etc. H.a
IL is denied that Leo XIII is avaric-
ious. On the contrary no Pope ever
gave more, his Holiness keeping moth
ing for himself. As for his table u re-
sembles the poor country carate. His
clothes cost him nothing, being applied
by the faithful from all parts of the
world, and he scarcely keeps penny to
enrich even his own family. The
dowry he gave to his favorite nephew,
the handsome Camille Pecci. did not
reach $40, 900, while as tor the presents
he gave the bride were OF the poorest
kind. On tie other hand he spends q
great deal In raising the prestige OF the
court, In creating schools, relieving the
poor and mainIsining tho Catholic
press. lie gives large subsidies to
papers which support his policy, bat
they must be entirely subservient to
him.
As vet he has not touched penny OF
the annual allowance OF 600, 900 sc-
corded 10 the Vatican under the law of
Papal Guarantees, passed when Victor
Emanuel took possession oi Rome. The
annual income has gone on accumula-
ting Throughout all these sssen'ssn
wears, and now reaches an enormous
sum. The Italian Bishops and clergy
are paid by the Italian Governmsne
since the death OF Pics lX.-N r.
Mail and Express.
